Cannot run on Windows Vista

I believe I followed the instructions to the letter, but now when I double-click on the "phatch.py" icon, a black command prompt appears for a second, some text runs down it, then it closes, and nothing happens.

- One thing that may have impacted, is that, when installing wxPython, there was a checkbox at the end, which "changed all .py files to .pyc". I'm not sure if I should have left this checked, or if I should have changed phatch.py to phatch.pyc. -

If neither of those appear to be the answer, I'm keen to uninstall and re-install to try again - would the normal Windows "Add/Remove Programs" be applicable here, or would it be more in-depth?

What downloads did you use to install phatch?

Heya. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

I downloaded the first link under Windows on the "Install" wikidot page - "phatch-dependencies-win32-py26.zip", and installed the four dependencies in the order noted in the readme, then installed the 3 "optional" programs, too.

These files are saved in C:\Python26
Does the "phatch-0.1.6" directory need to be saved in a particular place?

No the phatch directory can be anywhere. To keep it simple put it as "C:\phatch" Open in the start menu of windows the "Run" entry and type "cmd" (or open the DOS command prompt in another way).

Go inside this folder:
cd C:\phatch\phatch

and start phatch:
python phatch.py

Paste back the error you get.

I did as you suggested, but the command "python phatch.py" gave an error stating that "python" was not a valid command. By entering simply "phatch.py", the below error came out, which I believe is the same error that appears briefly after I double-click on the phatch.py icon:

c:\phatch\phatch>phatch.py

It looks like PIL-1.1.6.win32-py2.6.exe is not properly installed. If you are sure you installed it, please remove it.

Afterwards download it from here and try again:
